Hi Lex,

Here I go again. My apologies to you and to your readers if I will appear as a simpleton, naive gay guy but really, I do want to raise a couple of questions again.

First, for people in the film industry, producers, directors, writers, editors, etc. How come, as much as 95% (this estimate is mine and has no scientific basis) of all gay films produced or done in the Philippines revolved around the lives of commercial sex workers (macho dancers, callboys, masahistas, and now group dancers) and their patrons?

I just recently watched this gay film "Permanent Residence" which was in Chinese. There were several nudity scenes by the 2 leading men. I would even dare say, the frontal nudity scenes were really not necessary, meaning, they could have been deleted and the story will not have been different. But you would immediately feel that they weren't done so as to elicit arousal from the people who would watch them. But I am veering away from what I want to say.

This film and many other foreign made gay themed films I have already seen do not have story lines depicting lives of stripteasers and gogo boys; masseurs or group dancers and entertainers.

Bottomline: are we really limited to producing gay themed movies with such plots and subplots only? I have not seen the John Llloyd/Luis Manzano film yet. Is it a gay themed film? I know that the producers have been pushing it as a family themed movie maybe because they are afraid that the public's perception of the film itself and the actors will have a direct negative effect on the movie outfit and the lives of the actors themselves. It just goes to show how immature(?) as yet our mindset is on gay themed movies.

My second question: again, on gay themed movies such as this type by Director Joel. Are they classified as an indie film? And therefore as an indie film, the actors in such films can only be the likes of Paolo Rivero, Marco Morales, et al? I am saying this because I saw in the trailer Sherwin Ordonez and Jao Mapa as one of the actors in the movie. So now, they are relegated to films such as this type after appearing in a previous indie film. Or is it really their destiny now to be in such films because they are no longer bankable in a regular, full length movie?

Thank you for the bigger space I occupied this time.

Best regards,

Alex
